Repak Challenges Predicting Economic Growth Balancing Fee Income & Expenditure to Recycling Targets Membership – No Growth Regulation Enforcement Not Strong PRI Review & PPWD Challenges

Business Model Objectives Policy Context 19

Three key documents published Guidance on Extended Producer Responsibility (ERP) report to DG Environment by BIO Intelligence, published 1 July 2014 EU Commission Proposal amending WFD, PPWD and LD (Annex VII), published 2 July 2014 PRI Review for Packaging, published 4 July 2014

Findings Lack of transparency between the fees paid by producers and the costs they are supposed to cover What types of costs are covered by EPR and in which proportions? Transparency is required on the performances and costs of EPR schemes EU Commission Proposal amending WFD, PPWD and LD published 2 July 2014

Findings Minimum requirements for extended producer responsibility Introduction of minimum operating conditions for EPR The setting of minimum operating requirements for EPR aiming at internalising the end-of life Sound financial management of the scheme - calculation of the entire costs per type of products; use of the funds collected and; – 7.4.2. appropriate collection and treatment of waste, control over the legality of waste shipments and quality of data and reporting.

Findings From 2009 to 2011 Repak spent more than its income from producer fees; deficit was covered by the contingency fund Repak should examine how to reduce direct recycling costs in order to balance income with expenditure. In setting subsidy levels, the effect of the landfill levy should be considered. Repak should provide more transparency on the procedures for the calculation of subsidies paid to waste operators.

Circular Economy - Meaning

Full Circle- Co2 Emissions - Food - 9 Billion Population Growth Population Growth Infrastructure Deficit Infrastructure Deficit

The challenge to produce more from less By 2050, the planet will need to produce 70% more food, with less land, water and energy while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Article 16 of Waste Framework Directive Member States shall take measures to establish integrated and adequate network of installations Network shall be designed to enable Community to become self-sufficient … and to enable Member States to move towards that aim individually
